How did I get infected with?

The Adware.Kuaiba tool uses trickery to invade your computer. Trojans typically need permission to install themselves. They have to ask you, the user, whether you agree to let them in. And, they can proceed with install only after you okay it. In other words, you are behind your current predicament. You may not remember giving the green light to the infection. But you did. Don’t be too hard on yourself, though. Don’t expect the tool to pop-up, and outright seek access. What if you deny it? It doesn’t take chances. Instead, it turns to the old but gold means of invasion. They provide easier access to your PC. But trickery only takes it so far. The Trojan needs your carelessness to take it the rest of the way. Yes, it needs you to give into distraction, haste, and naivety. If you don’t, it’s more difficult for the threat to invade. If you throw caution to the wind, and rush, you ease its infiltration. Why do that? Next time, you’re dealing with freeware or supposed updates, be more attentive. Do your due diligence. Take the time to read the terms and conditions. It can save you a ton of troubles. Instead of hoping for the best, be vigilant enough to ensure it. Carelessness leads to allowing infections into your system on accident. Caution prevents that.

Why is this dangerous?

It may seem surprising that an infection, named Adware.Kuaiba does not fall under the adware umbrella. Yet, the Trojan does exhibit certain adware-like tendencies. For one, the tool messes with your browsing experience. It redirects you to a variety of third-party websites. All of which are unreliable. All of which, you mustn’t trust. It also floods you with countless pop-up ads. The same applies to them. They are not to be trusted. If you press even one pop-up, by accident or choice, you WILL regret it. Why? Well, all the ads you see, conceal malware. And, it takes a single click for that malware to slither into your system. Why? Well, a click equals consent. By pressing the ad, you give your permission to its installment. The more ads, you click, the more infections end up on your PC. How long do you think your computer will endure the avalanche of threats? How long before it gives up, and displays the dreaded blue? Yes, there is a possibility that your system gets too overwhelmed with malware. If it reached that point, it can show you The Blue Screen of Death. However, it should be noted that this is a rather minuscule possibility. But as minute and unlikely as the chances of it occurring are, will you face them? Are you prepared to take such a gamble? Last time we checked, ‘minute’ is not the same as ‘non-existent.’ Don’t risk your system’s well-being. Don’t risk your private information getting stolen and exposed. Keep cyber criminals away from your privacy. Do yourself a favor, and get rid of Adware.Kuaiba. As soon as you become aware of its existence, remove it. It has no place on your PC.
